A group of Columbia County deputies got together to make sure a suspect didn’t ruin a child’s holidays.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, a recent vehicle chase ended in the front yard of a home -- on top of a child’s bicycle. No one was hurt, but the bike was damaged beyond repair.

The suspect was taken into custody, but the Delta Shift deputies could not let the story end there.

The Sheriff’s Office said the deputies all pitched in to buy the girl a new bicycle -- and a helmet.

“She was excited and so were we,” the Sheriff’s Office wrote in a Facebook post with photos they shared of the special delivery.
